(Thread) van de Beek (VDB) is like another Pogba -complete box to box midfielder. It is interesting what impact his signing will have on the Man Utd selections and how to treat this in FPL:
- Will he start alongside Pogba (Fred+Matic benched)
- Will he be rotated with Bruno/Pogba
- Will they change formations depending on the difficulty of opponents and maybe even play with Pogba+Bruno+VDB+1 one of Matic/Fred in the tougher fixtures
- Does VDB signing affect our apetite for Bruno in both FPL and Fanteam and my personal apetite for Pogba in FanTeam
If I were Ole I'd stick with similar formation to last season and start with 2 wingers and Bruno in more advanced role, with Pogba and VDB behind him bossing the midfield together - them covering each other when one goes further forward (both are capable and intelligent enough)
But I'm not Ole, so who knows if he is thinking in the same way when Matic was quite good for them last season and is more defensive minded and Fred would also need minutes in some form (maybe cup games mainly and off the bench). I do think this decreases likelihood of 90 min
games for Bruno and Pogba to some extend (Ole will need them in the Champions League as well!). 😅
